There is no one price
Implant treatment is priced per implant, per arch, and per whatever has to happen before the implants go in. A person who needs four implants in one jaw and a person who needs both jaws rebuilt after years of decay are not having the same treatment, so they cannot have the same price.
Other sites will give you a range. A range that spans tens of thousands of dollars tells you almost nothing about your own mouth, and a narrow one is usually wrong for most of the people reading it. What is actually useful is understanding the structure of the quote, so that when you are handed one you can read it instead of just reacting to the total.
That is what the rest of this page does. Then the consultation gives you the real numbers for your situation, in writing, for $75.
What you are actually paying for
A full arch quote is not one price, it is six. Here is every line that can appear, what it covers, and what makes it move.
Removing failing or broken teeth in that jaw before any implant goes in. Not everyone needs this, and some people need it for every remaining tooth.
The titanium posts themselves. A fixed full arch usually needs four or more per jaw. An implant retained denture needs fewer. One missing tooth needs one.
Only if your 3D scan shows there is not enough bone to anchor the implants. Angled full arch techniques are designed to avoid this where possible.
The arch or the crown that fixes onto the implants. Grades and finishes vary, and this is where the different cost options in your plan usually differ most.
Local anaesthetic, sedation, or a general anaesthetic. Larger full arch work is more often done under sedation, which is priced per appointment.
Follow up appointments, the final arch after healing, and any adjustments. Ask what is included and for how long, because this varies between clinics.
with different cost options to suit your budget, so you can see what each trade off actually costs.
Six things that change the price
When you get your plan, these are the variables behind every line on it. Understanding them is the difference between reading a quote and being handed one.
The single biggest driver. A full fixed arch usually needs four or more implants. An implant retained denture needs fewer. One missing tooth needs one.
Rebuilding both arches is close to twice the work of one. Plenty of people do the upper jaw first and the lower later, when funding allows.
Failing teeth usually have to be removed before implants go in. Extractions are priced separately and they show up as their own line on your plan.
Your 3D scan answers this. Where there is not enough bone, grafting may be needed, which adds cost and time. Angled techniques avoid it for some people.
The implants themselves and the arch fixed onto them come in different grades and finishes. This is where the different cost options to suit your budget usually differ most.
Local anaesthetic, sedation or a general anaesthetic change the cost of the appointment. Larger full arch work is more often done under sedation.
These are the variables, not a price list. Which of them apply to you is decided by the dentist after the examination and the 3D scans, and the figures appear in your written treatment plan rather than on this page.
The costs we can name
Treatment is quoted per person, but the cost of finding out where you stand is the same for everybody.

Why there is no starting price here
Plenty of sites lead with a low starting price. We will only publish one once a partner clinic confirms that a real patient can actually get it.
A starting price is the cheapest version of a treatment, for the most straightforward mouth. Most people who need full mouth work are not that case, and a floor figure can make the real quote feel like a shock. Under the Australian Consumer Law a "from" price has to be genuinely available, so it has to come from the clinics that would honour it.
Until those figures are confirmed, the quickest way to a real number is the consultation: $75, with the X-rays and 3D scans included, and a written plan that costs your treatment with different cost options to suit your budget.
The number is only half of it
Most people we help do not pay the total outright, and that is completely normal. There are three routes, and we walk you through all of them without pushing one.
About super. Early release is decided by the ATO, requires acute or chronic dental pain, and is never guaranteed.
